Progress on my new #gameassets! Worked on farming stuff, terrain, details, items, UI and more. It's going to be a big one, and it'll be very free. Planning to support this pack for long, adding updates along the way.

Dutch Government officially launches #Mastodon server

https://fediversereport.com/dutch-government-officially-launches-mastodon-server/

In case you missed it, all links on Mastodon count as 23 characters towards your limit, no matter how many characters the link really is.

So, you don't need to use link shorteners on Mastodon as they won't actually affect the link's length.

Mastodon does this because it's better for everyone's privacy to avoid link shortener services, it means people can see what they're clicking on, and the link won't stop working if the shortener service shuts down.
